Company commander bug/exploit

After all of this, he proceeds to purchase the rest of his infantry in platoons along with the rest of his force. The result is almost limitless rallying capability for every squad, as each one can be rallied by by a nearby company commander and lieutenant(imagine 2 infantry companies split between 5 company commanders!) Until recently I have resisted using the exploit, as it just seems cheap & unhistorical, but the results have been so overwhelming that I'm going to have to use it to compete.

I'm just curious to know if anyone has run into this exploit and/or knows a way to limit it via options or something.

It is really quite simple - if a PBEM opponent insists on using such gamesmanship, once you have asked him not to do so again then do not play that person. Same as if you agreed an arty points limit and he keeps breaking that.

If it is some sort of ladder - then he should be reported to the organisers for bad sportsmanship too. Such vermin are mere oxygen thieves.

As to could it be fixed in code - probably.
